Chapter 518: The Canglan Sect Elders Collectively Broke Their Defense

Li family guest courtyard.

Lin Chen looked at the Martial Way Seal on his hand, his eyes changing uncertainly.

Tomorrow was the day the alchemy competition finals would open, and with his current alchemy attainments, he couldn't guarantee first place.

Jiang Jinwu Yaoyan, Jiang Chen, and that Wei Yang, their alchemy attainments were not low, and he had reserved some strength, so those three were probably the same.

The hint of 【Racing Against Time】 would be a rare opportunity for him. If he missed this opportunity, it would be very difficult to have another chance to comprehend the "Nine-Turn Green Spirit Record".

And now, the only thing that could make him improve in alchemy was the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

According to what Silver Moon said, the rewards of the Heaven-Reaching Tower were issued by the Divine Seal, which would bestow opportunities based on the situation of breaking into the tower. If his understanding of luck was correct, this situation was not just the martial arts situation of the tower-breaker, but even included the difficulties the tower-breaker faced in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao.

But Lin Chen knew even better that if he broke into the Heaven-Reaching Tower at this time, it would cause a huge uproar in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao.

The realm in Martial Way Mountain couldn't be hidden. The fact that he had already stepped into the third stage of the Innate Realm would be announced to everyone by the Martial Way Seal.

The sensation caused by breaking through from the second stage to the third stage of the Innate Realm in such a short time could be imagined.

And during the one hour he waited for the Heaven-Reaching Tower to appear, the number of martial artists challenging him would definitely not be small. After all, many people would only think that he had just stepped into the third stage of the Innate Realm, and by that time, the fact that he possessed the strength of the peak of the third stage of the Innate Realm would also be impossible to hide.

Stepping into the third stage of the Innate Realm and the peak of the third stage of the Innate Realm were two completely different concepts.

The former would shock and make martial artists of the same age jealous, and would surprise some experts.

But the latter would make people suspect whether he was hiding some secret, to be able to cultivate so fast.

Even the identity of a personal disciple of the Canglan Sect, I'm afraid, couldn't stop those experts from peeking and coveting him.

"Such an opportunity, absolutely must not be missed!"

Lin Chen had a look of determination in his eyes and still made the decision.

Just like when he was in Poyang County, facing every assessment, including the later county battles and the struggle for the model, he never gave up, but fought desperately to improve his strength before the competition came.

If he had slacked off at any time, thinking that he would just wait for the next session, missing it once would mean missing it step by step. Today, let alone standing here and becoming an Innate expert, it was possible he wouldn't even have been able to walk out of Canglan Island.

"I want to challenge the Heaven-Reaching Tower!"

Three breaths later, Lin Chen held the Martial Way Seal and whispered.

Boom!

The Martial Way Seal shot out a luster, which fell on Lin Chen. Lin Chen's disguised appearance was also quickly restored to his true face. The next moment, his figure disappeared into the light, leaving only the Martial Way Seal floating in the air.

"Sure enough, it's a young man."

Just as Lin Chen's figure disappeared, a young man appeared in the courtyard, and the formation of the guest courtyard had no fluctuations.

"Challenging the Heaven-Reaching Tower, it seems he was once the first place on Martial Way Mountain."

The young man had a smile on his face. First place on Martial Way Mountain didn't count for much to him, because he was also first place back then.

Experts of the Wanxiang Realm in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, except for a very few special cases, belonged to the "late bloomer" type, while others all crushed martial artists of the same age all the way. First place on Martial Way Mountain was the least worth caring about.

"Challenging the Heaven-Reaching Tower, this seat wants to see, how many floors can you pass?"

The young man sat down at the table on his own, raised his right hand, and a pot of wine appeared on the table.

Qianji Sect.

Ceng Xi walked into the sect's resource hall, preparing to receive the cultivation resources as a personal disciple. But just as he stepped into the hall, he heard many senior brothers exclaiming in the hall.

"How is this possible?"

"It's not the same person, right? That's not right either. Calculating the realm, it should be about the same as mine. If it were the first place on Martial Way Mountain, I couldn't not know."

Ceng Xi looked at the expressions of many senior brothers in the hall becoming strange, and they didn't even care about their status and were making a loud noise in the hall. His face was also full of doubt.

"Junior Li Lin Shixiong, what made you junior brothers so shocked?"

The middle-aged man responsible for maintaining order in the hall spoke. Hearing this, one of the several men who had exclaimed in shock hurriedly explained: "Lin Lin Shixiong Wang, it's not that we junior brothers are deliberately making a loud noise, but the news that just came from Martial Way Mountain, someone is breaking into the tower again."

"Breaking into the Heaven-Reaching Tower?"

Ceng Xi didn't get too excited when he heard the news. During this period of time, in order to cultivate the "Imperial Spirit Record" without distractions, he chose to put away the Martial Way Seal and didn't carry it with him. This time, he also planned to receive the resources and then start closed-door cultivation after the alchemy competition ended.

"Even if someone is breaking into the Heaven-Reaching Tower, you junior brothers shouldn't be this excited. Could it be that the identity of this tower-breaker is relatively special?"

The middle-aged man called Lin Lin Shixiong Wang grasped the point. Hearing this, that Junior Li Lin Shixiong nodded: "It is indeed very shocking, because the one breaking into the Heaven-Reaching Tower this time is Lin Chen."

Lin Chen?

Hearing the name Lin Chen, Ceng Xi's pupils shrank instantly. Lin Chen's battle with Sima Kong should have been just after breaking through to the second stage of the Innate Realm. Less than a year had passed, and he probably hadn't reached the peak of the second stage. Wouldn't breaking into the tower at this time be giving people a chance to snatch the qualification to break into the tower?

Although he and Lin Chen were friends who didn't fight without knowing each other, he still felt that it was impossible for Lin Chen to reach the peak of the second stage of the Innate Realm in such a short time. This was the Innate Realm, not the Ranked Tier. Even for genius disciples focused on by their sects, it took several years to break through a realm. This was still before the third stage of the Innate Realm; the further back, the longer it took.

"That Lin Chen from the Canglan Sect?" Lin Lin Shixiong Wang asked.

"Not sure."

"Not sure?"

Hearing this answer from Junior Li Lin Shixiong, Ceng Xi couldn't help but interrupt and ask: "Junior Li Lin Shixiong, why can't you be sure it's Lin Chen from the Canglan Sect? In the last hundred years, there should only be one Lin Chen who won first place on Martial Way Mountain, right?"

What Ceng Xi could be sure of was that in the last hundred years, there hadn't been anyone with the same name who won first place on Martial Way Mountain.

"Lin Lin Shidi Ceng, you have had contact with that Lin Chen. Do you think Lin Chen can cultivate to the third stage of the Innate Realm?"

This Junior Li Lin Shixiong looked at Ceng Xi with a strange expression. Ceng Xi frowned: "Junior Li Lin Shixiong, why bother joking with me? Lin Chen is the first place on Martial Way Mountain. His martial arts talent doesn't need to be said. How could he not be able to cultivate to the third stage of the Innate Realm?"

The first place on Martial Way Mountain could at least reach the fifth stage of the Innate Realm, most were at the sixth stage, and a small number could step into Wanxiang.

"Then if it's up to now, do you think Lin Chen can break through to the third stage of the Innate Realm?"

"Lin Chen has already reached the third stage of the Innate Realm!"

Ceng Xi's voice suddenly rose. He was certain that there hadn't been a second Lin Chen who won first place on Martial Way Mountain in the last hundred years, but the reactions of Junior Li Lin Shixiong and the other senior brothers wouldn't lie, and the meaning in Junior Li Lin Shixiong's words was already very obvious.

East Sea area, Hu Hu Yunhua looked at the message prompted by the Martial Way Seal, his heart surging.

When Lin Chen returned to the East Sea area, he was only at the second stage of the Innate Realm. How long had passed, and he had already stepped into the third stage of the Innate Realm?

He had cultivated for decades, and was surpassed by Lin Chen in less than two years?

This... is he treating the sixth stage of the Innate Realm as the sixth rank to cultivate?

Ten-odd breaths later, Hu Hu Yunhua calmed his heart and said to the butler: "Send a visiting card to the Canglan Association Hall. Forget it, I will go there in person. The Canglan Association Hall probably hasn't received the news yet. I will go and inform them of this good news in person."

The reminder for the tower-breaker of the Heaven-Reaching Tower could only be notified to experts of the Innate level.

The Imperial Court set it up this way to separate the Heaven-Reaching Tower from Martial Way Mountain, saving those young martial artists who hadn't entered the Ranked Tier from being distracted and letting them focus on improving their rankings on Martial Way Mountain. ===== CHAPTER 519 =====
